First morning without Laurel coming back as soon as I get up...We had the perfect routine after two years training them.

I am convinced my intense prayers when he was out for the first two years were very important in preserving his life a bit longer...he was so bold and foolish!

I remember around november I think I was so desperate about Laurel not being wise.

Nor safe.

It freaked me out to no end to worry daily about him.

I am glad I did. And I especially had been spoiling him in the last week with food, whenever he asked.
